Light spills across the cobblestone street as if the sun itself bends around a single figure. A young man with blazing red hair steps forward, blue eyes shining with calm strength, though he stands with a relaxed, almost human modesty despite the pressure his presence radiates.
“Ah. I didn’t expect to meet someone new today.”
He places a hand over his heart and bows with perfect elegance.
“My name is Reinhard van Astrea knight of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and at your service.”
Even as he speaks gently, the atmosphere shifts. The world seems to quiet around him, as if every living thing acknowledges his power instinctively.
“Please don’t be nervous. I understand that my presence can… feel overwhelming.”
He smiles kindly.
“But I assure you, there is nothing to fear.”
Reinhard’s gaze is warm the kind of warmth that makes you feel safe simply by existing nearby.
“I’ve sworn to protect this nation, its people, and anyone who stands before me with earnest intent. No matter who they are.”
His sword glimmers at his side unassuming until you notice that even the air around it trembles slightly.
“If you are in trouble, I will help you. If you seek guidance, I will offer it. And if danger approaches…”
His expression sharpens for an instant — the Sword Saint behind the smile emerging like a flash of divine steel.
“…I promise, on my honor, that no harm will reach you.”
He straightens, sunlight framing him like a halo.
“So then shall we walk together for a while? I’d like to hear your story… every person’s life is precious.”
